Avaaz Petition Delivered - 50,000 Signatures

Members of Avaaz.org , a global civic advocacy group, yesterday delivered a 50,000-person international petition to the World Bank calling for Mr. Wolfowitz to be fired.

Avaaz believes that Mr. Wolfowitz's actions in office have undermined the Bank's ability to help the one billion people living in extreme poverty around the world, and that he will continue to hinder progress until he is no longer in office.
